Builds are in. We have a late scratch - Kevin is sitting this one out but will return for season 5. There was not enough time to replace him so we go with 11.

Not too many duplicates (Rae & Hoyt; Bauska & Galullo) and a ton of variety. Four cars with 100 start speed and one with a 120! Only two cars look to be running from behind with 20 starts. Two big 180 engines and two putt-putters at 140.

Harley uses his investment in start speed to jump out onto the Curva 1 line at 120. Munies pushes the start with 1s (modified 3) to hit 80 and preps the line in the middle lane.

Swaine, coming out of row 2, pushes to 120 with 2s (modified 0) then tucks in behind the #27. Burnett goes to the dice with 2s (modified 6) and at 80, grabs the bumper on the M&M's Toyota.

Snouffer has the initiative out of row 3 with a plot of 120 (naked 9). He mis-shifts and now, at 80, pulls in behind the green Chevy. Scarpino is content to let some cars pass with his start speed of 20.

Galullo, at 120, shakes the dice cup with 2s (modified 3). He can't find a tail so he uses the inside lane to move up several positions. Bauska runs in behind the baby blue Toyota at 100.

Rae pushes his start to 80 with 2s (modified 5), passing the #2 car. Hoyt, at 60, pulls up on the side panel of the Miller Lite Ford.

Plotting 40, Haskell drops 2 skill chips into the kitty on the dice roll but to no avail (modified 9). He mis-shifts and stays put at 0 (he can use his normal ACC next turn - it is not a re-start).

Harley clips a tire on the Curva 1 green line before speeding into Curva 2. Swaine stays hot on his tail, taking the green line for free at 140 plus the bonus.

Munies runs the Curva 1 line for free at 140.

Burnett has the initiative at 140. He eschews the racing line and runs Curva 1 on the outer rail for a wear. He pulls to the inside of the #18 with the bonus. Galullo slow plays the corner at 120 on the line and bottles things up behind him.

Bauska, at 140 and the line blocked, takes Curva 1 on the outside for a wear. Snouffer, at 140 and with the bonus, runs the outer rail for a wear and attempts a forced pass on the #23 with 1sp (modified 9). With no room on the track, he must brake down to 100, using another wear and 2sp on the brake table (modified 4).

Rae rolls into Curva 1 on the line at 140. Hoyt grabs the line at 120. Scarpino, at 80 and the bonus, sets up the green line.

Harley takes the outer rail of Curva VIP at 80 for a wear. Swaine plots 100 but, with his preferred route blocked, goes to the dice cup with 1s on the brakes (modified 9). He clips 2 tires in the VIP 40's.

Munies, at 80, is locked into the Curva 3 60's for a wear. He dumps another wear in the VIP 60's. Burnett runs the Curva 3 80's for free at 80.

Galullo races into the outer rail of Curva 3 at 100 for a wear. Bauska has no place to go with his 100 plot. He late brakes to 80 with a wear before taking the Curva 3 80's for free.

Snouffer brakes down to 60 as he preps Curva 3 on the inside. Rae scrapes off a wear in the Curva 3 80's at 100.

Hoyt pulls up to Curva 3 on the outer rail at 100. Scarpino grabs the bumper of the #22 at 100.

Haskell takes the Curva 1 green line for free at 140 and still has plenty of clean air.

Swaine inches up his speed to 140, approaching Orelha on the inside. Harley clips 2 tires in the Parabolica Interior at 120 on the outer rail.

Munies brakes down to 80 on the tables with 1s (modified 3). He takes Interior on the inside for a wear. Burnett, at 120, runs the outer lane for 2 wear. Bauska pays a wear as he gets hung up in the Interior 80's at 100.

Galullo races into Parabolica Interior, scarping off 2 tires at 120 on the 80's. Rae pulls up to the corner at 140.

Hoyt grabs the tail on the #1 car at 160. Snouffer goes to the dice cup with 1s (modified 6) to get his speed up to 120.

Scarpino finishes out VIP at 60. Haskell burns 2 wear in the VIP 60's at 100. He pulls up next to the #2.
